Investigations in the site core of Cahal Pech have recovered a range of data reflecting Terminal Classic Maya activity at this Belize Valley site. The materials, which were recovered in a tomb, a burial, and in epicentral plaza deposits, include a diverse assemblage of cultural remains including whole and partial vessels, projectile points, obsidian blade fragments, deer antlers, figurines, pottery flutes, spindle whorls, and jade beads. Similar deposits at other Maya sites in western Belize have been interpreted as evidence forde factorefuse or rapid abandonment. Contextual analyses of the Cahal Pech data suggest that the deposits are more likely associated with post-abandonment activity such as pilgrimage from the still-occupied periphery of the site.

漫长的告别：有问题的陶器和在伯利兹卡哈尔佩奇的朝圣之旅

对 Cahal Pech 站点核心的调查已经恢复了一系列数据，这些数据反映了该伯利兹山谷站点的 Terminal Classic Maya 活动。在墓葬、墓葬和震中广场沉积物中发现的材料包括各种文化遗迹，包括整体和部分容器、弹头、黑曜石刀片碎片、鹿角、小雕像、陶笛、纺锤、和玉珠。伯利兹西部其他玛雅遗址的类似沉积物被解释为证据事实上拒绝或迅速放弃。对 Cahal Pech 数据的背景分析表明，这些矿床更有可能与遗弃后的活动有关，例如从仍被占领的遗址周边朝圣。
